On The Job

Dr. Scott Rizzo was a co-owner of Louisville Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Services when it merged with BluePearl Veterinary Partners in 2012. Originally an accountant, Dr. Rizzo realized after a brief stint in the banking industry that accounting was not the career path for him. He returned to his true passions in life — animals and science — and went back to college to earn several degrees and on to specialized veterinary training. Dr. Rizzo’s professional interests include pancreatitis, novel cancer therapies, Cushings disease, and non-invasive diagnostic methods.

Off Duty

Born and raised in Louisville, Dr. Rizzo is a big fan of University of Louisville sports. In his free time, he plays golf, racquetball and enjoys bowling as well as spending time with his wife, kids, a border collie named Lady and a beta fish named Fish Stick Senior.
